1 DATA EVOLUTION (and the EVIDENCE)... Knowledge Doubling CurveBuckminster Fuller created the “Knowledge Doubling Curve”He noticed that until 1900 human knowledge doubled approximately every century.By the end of World War II knowledge was doubling every 25 years.Today things are not as simple as different types of knowledge have different rates of growth. For example, nanotechnology knowledge is doubling every two years and clinical knowledge every 18 months.But on average human knowledge is doubling every 13 months.IBM states that the build out of the “internet of things” will lead to the doubling of knowledge every 12 hours!

4 The Role of Data Management PlansGrowing Government-wide emphasis on “community” access to data supports a substantive push towards more open sharing of dataNational Science Foundation (NSF) in USA requires data management plans as a pre-cursor to it providing Federal fundsThis is consistent with NSF's mission and US policymakers in making sure that any data obtained with federal funds be made accessible to the general public as OPEN DATANSF is subject to the US Federal Open Government Directive to make government more transparent and more participatoryThis addresses the trends and needs in the modern era of data-driven science and solutions
